THE COMIC PAPER.
A Writer for One Tells How the Average
Woman viii Read 1t.

1t is not often that Il woman buys
comic paper to read on an elevated car
but when she does it is curious to OBJ
serve her. She looks as solemn as
though she were reading the obituary
of Il near and dear friend. She glances
at the cartoon on the first page to COM
mence with, and after a feeble attempt
page and reads very carefully an adj
vertisement of some new style of cor
set Then she opens anywhere, and
looks at Il comic picture without read
ing the accompanying description, and
reads the inscription of another illus
tration without looking at the picture.
She pursues a mild squb on women
and her lips curl with gentle scorn,
while her lips move as though she were
saving: "He thinks he's smart, doesn't
he?" She forgets her momentary re-
sentiment, however, in going over a
reading notice (,ss1 of column, next to
pure reading matter) of Il preparation
to beautify the female complexion. She
finally strikes patent-medicine por-
trait, and losses her head as if to say:
eve seen that picture in lots of papers
before, and it amt a bitfunny. Thought
this paper claimed to be original"
After looking in vain for a department
of marriages and deaths, she seems to
hesitate about throwing the paper away
or keeping it, and finally folds it up
carefully and puts it away in her hand
bag. thinking that some of the 'men
folks at home might like to look at it,

JOHNNIE-COME-LATELY.
How a Somewhat Fresh Army Officer
Earned This DistastefuI Sobriquet.

How Somewhat Fresh Army officer
Earned This Distasteful Sobriquet.
The commandment was II bluff old dra-
COON, who had bravely followed the
fortunes of "old Zach Taylor" during
the Mexican war, and whose idea of
discipline, although strict, was by no
means that of martinez. One thing
only served to annoy him and that was
any attempt to familiarity on the part
of a subordinate in rank. Connected
with one of the troops" was a dandi-
fed young lieutenant, who, having
graduated at the head of his class at
West Point, appeared to entertain the
notion that he was of some Importance.
Whenever he CHANGED to be placed in
authority as officer of the day, whose
duty it is to see that the routine of the
camp is strictly carried out, he invaria-
bly, involved himself in some difficulty.
1t was his custom to unnecessarily pass
at least dozen times during the day in
front of the guard-house. This action
necessitated the turning out of the
guard every time he made his appear
ance in order to render the customary
salute.
The soldiers cordially hated him and
bestowed upon him the sobriquet of
"Johnnie-come-lately." He was not
long in discovering this fact, and be-
coming in consequence highly incensed
inaugurated series of petty annoy
ances to the men, that resulted in nearly
two-thirds of the latter being placed in
the guard-house by his order and for
the purpose of being tried before u
court-martial. The commandant was
wild on discovering that some of the
best soldiers in his command were being
prosecuted by nincompoop, and he at
once ordered the latter before him.
"What the deuce do you mean, SIR"
he roared, "by combining half my COM
mand?"
1.-The men are in a state of mutiny,"
tremblingly replied the Lieutenant,
land beside their impotence has
reached such u height that they call me
'Johnnie-come-lately' to my face"
"Whatr' fairly howled the irate COM
mander, sis it for that reason you have
been prosecuting them? Why, hang
you, sir, have been, man and boy,
over forty years in the service, and the
name the men best know me by is old
boots Get out of my presence and
order every prisoner to be released !"
The Lieutenant was so mortified that
he FASTENED to effect an exchange with
an infantry officer, and to this day is
still known by the distasteful sobriquet
even by the ladies of the army .--B0Ston

Adulterated Spices.

81 know a man." remarked a gentle
man this morning, "who is so consci-
cntOus that, after starting in the spice
business at considerable expense, he
Sold out at loss rather than continue
u manufacturing concern that could
only be made profitable by adulterating
the manufactures and selling impure
goods. There is more adulteration in
spices, he told me, than in any thing
else, and the making of the adulterating
agents is also business in itself. Why,
it has not been long since there was a
mill over in Camden where fruit
importing firms here, and those that
manufactured prepared cocoanut sent
their cocoanut shells, which were then
ground into powder and used for adul-
iteration. l believe the method is to
find out what you can get for your
spices and then adulterate them so you
can make a profit at the figures named.
The strength and pungency of the spice
are usually made to correspond with
its price. "-PhiIadelphia Bulletin.

A FRIEND TO DISEASE.

What Alcohol Does to the Kidneys, Liv-
err, Heart, stomach, Brain and Nervous
system.
The kidneys are often the seat of
deep and incurable disease, brought on
by alcohol. 1t is the testimony of med
zeal authorities that seven out of eight
cases of the dreaded and incurable
"Bright's disease" are due to the eff
fects of rum. The exclusive use of
beer and other malt liquors is frequent
cause of calculi in the bladder, or
"gravel."
The1iver, the largest and most i'm
portant gland in the body, is another
victim of the rum habit The use of
alcohol produces in it disease called
cirrhosis, commonly called "hob-nail
liver" or ''whisky liver" 1t is incura-
bic, and drags its victim slowly down
to sure and agonizing death.
The heart is among one of the first of
the vital organs to feel the effects of
this Internal poison. from the constant
excessive stimulation and Over-action,
its fibers become weakened, and finally
its muscular walls undergo fatty de-
generation. This is very dangerous;
for any sudden shock, or over-eXertion,
or exposure to cold, or fatigue, or any
very depressing influence, may cause
sudden death. Heart disease" the
coroner calls it, to soften the grief of
the friends; but it is alcohol that kills
the man.

TWO DAYS.

Somewhere in that strange land we call the
Past,
Where each of us has laid his treasures by,
My heart has set one day whose light shall last
When all youths golden years forgotten lie,
Ever across my life it shines afar,
AS through storm-tossed sky one glorious star.
One day struck sudden midst the whirling years
Into the perfect calm of Paradise;
One day when life, set free from doubts and
fears,
Lay love-lit under shining summer skies,
When my hearts mad hoping dared confess,
And found Heaven in my lady's Yes"
The clouds roll back; the gentle wind that signs
Low through the branches has her voices
tone;
Her eyes look in sweet answer to my eyes;
Once more l feel her hand within my own.
Let fortune spoil my treasures as she will,
That one bright memory is with me still.
Somewhere within that unknown shadowy land
We call the Future waiteth me day
When shall hold again my lady's hand,
And listen low to hear what she will say
All, Love! that day must dawn for us at last
When all our weary waiting shall be past.

The Marvellous Phonopore.

There seems to be no end to the
marvels of electrical science. We have
long known that, inexplicable as it
seemed, messages could be sent through
a wire in opposite directions at the
same moment. But now we have Mr..
Langdon Davis utilizing for telegraphic
purposes a form of electric force which
can be separated altogether from the
ordinary electric current, and which
can pass freely through insulators i'm
passable by currents. The new instru-
ment, termed a phonopore, can be at
tached to any ordinary telegraph line,
as was done day or two back in the
case of line from London Bridge to
Folkestone. The result was that it was
possible to send a phonoporic message
over the heads, as it were, of the usual
operators, who could continue all the
time to work the line from either end,
or at any intermediate point, and in
both directions. Moreover, when the
line at either end was disconnected, so
that there was no closed circuit, and
Geographic messages were therefore
entirely impossible, the phonopore
worked as successfully as ever.-St.
James Gazette.

Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph
Company.

The Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph
Company announces to its patrons,
and the public generally, that it has
inaugurated another new idea in the
Telegraph business, by issuing Com
mutation Books of Telegraph Stamps
for the convenience of its customers
in preparing their kilograms: For
example, ten word telegram from
New York City to Wheeling, w. Va,
with 25 cent stamp affixed will be
accepted at any Baltimore and Ohio
Telegraph Office for transmission in
the same manner and under the same
conditions as if the cash accompanied
such telegram.
Each book contains Stamps of va
rious denominations, to the amount
of 1.O4, and they can be purchased
at the principal Baltimore and Ohio
Telegraph Offices, for $1,000 each,
which is equivalent to rebate of over
ten per cent, on the already ex-
tremely low rates.

From Harper's Ferry.

HARPER's FERRY, April Ii, 1887.
Dear Editor:-The Easter services
in the Catholic, Lutheran and Epis-
copal churches here were noticeable
mainly for the beauty of the floral dis
play. The congregations were very
large and the music very impressive
as well as the sermons. The fra
GRANGE of the flowers filled the air
with suggestions of the anniversary
of the resurrection. At ST. Johns
Episcopal, Easter Monday evening,
Bishop Peterkin confirmed eight per-
sons. After the confirmation nearly
all the congregation participated in
the holy communion. The purple
and yellow vestments of lent were ex-
changed for white. In the chancel
rail the baptismal font was filed with
cut flowers. Gala lilies, ferns and
other fragrant flowers were clustered
thickly in the font, with bunch of
daffodils (the resurrection fower) in
the center.
The pastor of the M. P. church is
at conference, and Madame Rumor
says will soon lead one of Washing
ton city's charming girls to Hymen's
altar. The pastor of the NJ. E. church
had an appointment elsewhere at
Easter. so there were no services in
either of those churches.
Yours, OBSERVER.
